Description

Are there any plans to change the XML Config file?

I mean that the following:

<mailet class="SendMailAsFax">
<match class="MatchFaxRecipient">
<param1><param1>
</match>
<param1><param1>
</mailet>

I am asking because it is inconvenient to add parameters to the matcher without names.

Also it is good if is possible both matcher and mailet to have common parameters with <common> tag for example.

The other idea is the parameters to be like Java Properties:
<parameters>
<parameter name="param1">value</parameter>
...
<parameter name="param1">value</parameter>
</parameters>

or instead parameter/parameters to use property/properties.

This variant is better for XML Schema definition.
